The day finally came, and the black military uniforms of the generals and staff officers who lived in Li Ang's Zhuangzi were shameful to wear clothes other than military uniforms, and after seeing that Li Ang was wearing a black military uniform at all times, the officers and staff officers of the general garden had such an idea, so the military uniform party that was famous in the military circles of Daqin in the future was formed. In the White Tiger Festival Hall, in the major capital palaces, there are military uniform parties, no matter at any time, they are always wearing black straight military uniforms, the military appearance is not slight, and the behavior is cold, so that people dare not ignore it, and all of this is due to the influence of Li Ang. At present, this group of young officers and staff officers who have not yet received war experience are still only the shadow of Li Ang's cold and solemn style for the first time.

The emperor's car will arrive in the afternoon, so the major families have to arrive early, and this emperor's original intention is just to spend the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet with Li Ang's family has officially become a grand event for the entire family in Chang'an, almost all the famous Gaomen families have arrived, of course, the price they pay is also a lot of money, 100,000 gold baht invitations even these noble families have to frown slightly.

However, compared to those families who did not get invitations, these families who got invitations still felt that it was worth the money, after all, this was the first Chinese New Year's Eve after the emperor ascended the throne, and being able to appear at this banquet was undoubtedly a status symbol, and for the family, what was more important than face, but what made them complain was that the newly bought tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks in Li Ang Zhuangzi really did not match their identity.

Li Ang didn't think much of the complaints of those high-ranking families, he didn't want to have anything to do with them, maybe in the eyes of outsiders, it was quite an honor to be one of those high-ranking families. But for Li Ang, becoming one of the high-ranking families in Chang'an is just a burden, and he doesn't want that kind of burden, so he threw it to Cui Hao to deal with these high-ranking families who love to pay attention to it.

In Zhuangzi's courtyard, Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang concocted the yellow dog that Li Ang sent someone to get from Miss Zhuge together, and for the two of them, there was no better dog meat in the world than concocted with Miss Zhuge Huang's yellow dog. And Leon was watching from the sidelines, he wanted to go up and help. However, Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang pressed him aside on the grounds that his help would spoil the taste.

On the snowy road, a horse-drawn carriage moved down the road, and beside the carriage was a group of blonde knights. In the carriage, Trist looked at Prince An Changsheng and Yi Hanfeng, who were a little impatient, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, before Li Ang left Chang'an, he had asked him to befriend this prince who was not valued by the Roman emperor. For Daqin, this prince is a very important chess piece in the future, and if he uses it well, he is enough to beat an army of millions.

Outside the car, Titis, who led the team, was full of red light, since he was rebelled by Li Ang in the past, he had been worried about his future, especially when Li Ang left Chang'an later, just letting his butler maintain a relationship with him and Prince An Changsheng. He had regretted his weakness somewhat, but now that regret had vanished without a trace, he was about to meet the monarchs of the most powerful empire in the world, and the families of the Great Qin generals who had terrified the Romans. No Romans had ever received this glory before.

Soon the convoy stopped not far from Zhuangzi, and Titis looked at the subordinates of the former Roman Double-headed Eagle Army who were bewitched by him, and said loudly, "Pay attention to your appearance, we are about to meet His Majesty, the most noble emperor in the world, and I don't want anyone to make any trouble for me." ”

Listening to the angry voice of Titis outside the car, Yi Hanfeng couldn't help frowning, he didn't like this renegade, and in his opinion, this former two-headed eagle force intelligence officer didn't have enough respect for the prince, if it weren't for the terrible General Li. Perhaps this renegade would have betrayed again.

"Your Highness, when should you teach Titis a hard lesson and let him know who is the master." Yi Hanfeng looked beside him, like Prince An Changsheng, who was more Han than Roman. Although Prince An Changsheng's sinology attainments are becoming more and more profound, and the gentle demeanor on his body really makes people feel like a spring breeze, Yi Hanfeng feels that this is not a good thing.

Listening to Yi Hanfeng's nagging, An Changsheng just smiled and didn't say anything, it has been more than a year since he came to Chang'an, he almost forgot that he was the prince of Rome, and now his biggest wish in his heart is to be able to bring his mother to Chang'an, he just wants to live quietly.

Looking at An Changsheng and Yi Hanfeng, Triste, who was sitting opposite them, lowered his head, he felt that An Changsheng's indifferent temperament was very good, so that he could avoid some things in the future, but this strong Yi Hanfeng was a trouble.

For the heads of the major families who were already in the village, a prince who was not valued in Rome and was equivalent to an abandoned land was not in their hearts, but out of tradition and etiquette, they still gave An Changsheng the respect they deserved, which also flattered them a little.

"I've seen General Lee." Seeing Li Ang again, An Changsheng was still the same as before, treating this powerful man as a respectable figure like a brother, while Yi Hanfeng and Testi beside him were a little frightened, Li Ang used to give them a feeling of coldness, but now they felt more majesty, which made them behave more respectfully.

Li Ang let An Changsheng stay alone, although Yi Hanfeng felt that this was not good, but under Li Ang's invisible oppression, he finally left with Titis. "Have you ever thought about when to leave Chang'an?" Watching Trist close the door of the study, Li Ang looked at An Changsheng, who was a little restrained beside him.

"Leaving Chang'an?" An Changsheng's expression darkened, and after a while, he raised his head and said, "I hope to bring my mother to Chang'an." "An Changsheng is a gentle and intelligent man, and he knows what his identity means to Great Qin and Rome.

"Is this your wish, Your Highness?" Looking at An Changsheng, who lowered his head, Li Ang sighed, although he didn't want to take advantage of this kind young man, but he didn't have a choice, "Your Highness's wishes, I can do it, but Your Highness will need it in the future."

Favors. ”

—

"Is Great Qin going to war with Rome?" An Changsheng raised his head and looked at Li Ang, with some confusion and pain in his eyes, his father was the emperor of Rome. Although he has only seen his father a handful of times since he was a child, and was even considered the most useless prince by the Romans, he still has his blood on his body, just his mother, thinking of his gentle and beautiful mother, An Changsheng's heart struggled, emotionally he was closer to his mother, and the experience in Chang'an also made him completely like Daqin, in his heart. Living peacefully with his mother in Chang'an is his greatest wish.

"We have an old saying called 'one mountain does not tolerate two tigers', the world only needs one overlord, one order, and war will come one day." Li Ang looked at An Changsheng and said quietly, "Great Qin will not wait for Rome's strength to compete with it before making a move. ”

An Changsheng didn't know what to say, in terms of identity, he was the prince of Rome, and he should refute Li Ang's words. But he didn't. Looking at him quietly, Li Ang sighed lightly and asked, "Your Highness thinks that there is anything in this world that can really be passed down for a long time, is it a country, a nation, or a culture?" ”

"It is culture, as long as the culture is there, then the nation can continue, and even if the country is destroyed, it can be revived again." An Changsheng was stunned when he heard Li Ang's question. Then he replied without thinking that he came to Chang'an to study Sinology, and for more than a year of Taixue, he was immersed in many classics and could not extricate himself. Before he knew it, he had become a devout scribe.

"So between the East and the West, whose culture does Your Highness think is better?" Li Ang looked at An Changsheng and remembered the motherland in another world that was slowly eroded by Western culture. Culture will die, and this demise depends on the will and strength of the country, the current Great Qin will not make the mistakes of his motherland in another world, and the Great Qin will never be a generous giver, just for the ridiculous name of benevolence and righteousness, Great Qin will be a grabber, under the banner of justice, to take the wealth of the nations. Repair the armor soldiers, and use hegemony to promote the Han family education and make the world unified.

An Changsheng took a long time before replying, "Great Qin is quite a big victory over Rome. "Since 150 years ago. Great Qin with hegemony to establish the foundation of the country, reopened the situation of a hundred schools of thought, and called 'Sinology', has left Rome and other countries in the world behind, when it comes to culture, it is difficult to compare with 'Sinology', only the works of several masters in the Greek classical period can be compared with it, and the cultural inheritance of Greece Rome really can't come up with anything to compete with Daqin, and now the westward trend of 'Sinology' can explain everything.

"Since Great Qin's civilization is superior to Rome, then Rome only needs to abide by the order established by Great Qin." Looking at An Changsheng, Li Ang said quietly, "Your Highness should be able to make a choice in your heart." ”

"I see, General Lee." An Changsheng had no choice, and what Li Ang said to him was just for him to be at ease.

Li Ang didn't say anything more, just took An Changsheng out of the study, and at this time, the forward of the black cavalry battalion led by Gao Changgong had already arrived in Zhuangzi, "Go and greet Your Majesty!" Looking at everyone, Leon nodded. Liu Yu and Chen Baxian took the officers and staff officers of Jiangyuan out of Zhuangzi, lined up in a neat military formation, and stood in the falling snow, waiting for the emperor's arrival.

Gao Changgong looked at the statue-like officers and staff officers in the snow, and couldn't help but say to Li Ang, "Uncle is right, I'm not as good as you." With a sigh, Gao Changgong walked back to the military column where the Black Cavalry Battalion was located.

Looking at the black military column in front of Zhuangzi, those who came to the local family couldn't help but be solemn, Daqin passed on the country with martial arts, they were meritorious families, especially the tradition of military and military heirlooms, although the thirty years of peace made them tainted with luxury, but at this time, watching these emperors and ** people line up the local military array, but it aroused the iron-blooded fierceness in their blood that was passed down from their ancestors.

Looking at the solemn momentum in front of Zhuangzi that seemed to be able to crush people, Titis and his subordinates beside him were shocked inexplicably, the nobles of Rome did not have the martial spirit of these Great Qin families, if it were not for the distance between Great Qin and Rome, they had no doubt that Rome would be completely annexed by Great Qin, just like the Huns who were expelled from their homes by Great Qin one hundred and fifty years ago and fled north in panic.

In the falling snow in the distance, the team of the black cavalry battalion jumped into everyone's sight, the black Great Qin Dragon Banner was waving in the wind, Cao Anmin did not hide in the warm carriage, but rode on a black horse of a divine horse, under the protection of Guo Nu and Gao Huan, towards Li Ang and them.

"Great Qin, Wu Wei!" The officers and staff officers of the army shouted in salute to their emperor, and then the great families also chanted in unison. Unlike the era of the old Han Dynasty, Great Qin had an ancestral motto to put the state above the king, and Emperor Taizu abolished the slogan "Long live the emperor" before his death. And the Great Qin Legion will be called 'Great Qin, Wuwei!' As a way for the people of Great Qin to express their respect to the emperor, he hoped that future generations would always remember the martial tradition. In the loud shouts, Cao Anmin, who was sitting on the horse, responded with a military salute.

Looking at the emperor from afar, An Changsheng was a little surprised, he thought that the emperor of Great Qin should be a very powerful young man, not such an ordinary appearance, but from the fanatical momentum of those soldiers and nobles, he could see that they respected the emperor extremely much, which was completely different from Rome, and the emperor of Rome never had such a status in the hearts of his subjects.

In a frenetic atmosphere. Cao Anmin entered Zhuangzi, he just said a few words casually to those big families, and then went to Li Ang's study, although he had long known that he was going to come to Li Ang to make trouble in Chang'an, but he didn't expect that these families would still think of a way. Cao Anmin and Li Ang went to the study, and the queen took the prince to Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang, of course, Miss Zhuge did not let go of this opportunity. She followed by the light of Aunt Sun.

"Seeing those officers and staff officers like this, I am relieved." Thinking of those generals and staff officers who were wearing military uniforms in the wind and snow, Cao Anmin said with a smile, "The Plateau Expedition, it seems that you have won the victory." ”

"Your Majesty has overdone it." Li Ang looked at Cao Anmin, who was in a good mood, and didn't say anything,

There has never been a war in this world that is sure to win, but the words of this great joy are really frustrating, so he just smiled and said.

After seeing that the emperor came, he just said a few words and went to the backyard of the master's house, and those big families couldn't help but be a little disappointed. But fortunately, with the commander-in-chief and the great Sima, they can also deal with it, for the young rulers of the new major families, their enthusiasm for war is no less than that of the army, and when Hezhong officially becomes the territory of the empire, the benefits they can obtain from it will be innumerable.

Although they could not enter the main hall, the officers and staff officers of the general garden could not hide their joy, and they happily discussed in their halls the battle to the plateau after the beginning of spring, which made the Titis and the Romans who were listening from the side frightened. Although there were also young officers in Rome shouting that we wanted war all day long, compared to the officers and staff officers of Daqin in front of him, they were just a group of people who could only shout slogans.

Look at the eager family heads around you. Da Sima was still as silent as ever, and just let the chief deal with it alone, "After Hezhong was included in the territory of the empire, you all know the historical practices of the empire, I don't think I need to say more!" ”

Listening to the words of the chief, the eyes of the heads of the major families showed a fine light, Hezhong will become the next political battlefield in their game, who can grab the most benefits in Hezhong, and it will be of great help to the family's status in Chang'an.

Men have men's topics, and women naturally have their topics, such as giving birth, looking at the lower abdomen bulging and Lin Fengshuang, Aunt Sun laughed very happily, and the queen on the side was also laughing, only the prince felt quite bored when he stayed alone in a group of women, so he shouted, "Queen Mother, I want to find my father and master!" ”

"Okay, the queen mother will take you to see your father." The queen stood up with the support of Miss Zhuge beside her, and with the wind Siniang, Lin Fengshuang called Li Cunxiao, who was outside the door, and asked him to take the prince to the study to find Cao Anmin and Li Ang.

Just as Cao Anmin and Li Ang were discussing some issues, there was a sudden knock on the door, "Come in." Li Ang frowned, and then Li Cunxiao walked in with the crown prince. Father, mother, it's so boring! Seeing his father and Li Ang, the prince jumped out of Li Cunxiao's arms, ran to his father's side and shouted, and the pouting appearance made Cao Anmin and Li Ang laugh.

"Cunxiao, you go and bring Prince An Changsheng over, Your Majesty wants to see him." Looking at Li Cunxiao who was standing, Li Ang commanded, and then teased the prince with Cao Anmin.

A moment later, An Changsheng came to the study again, and then he saw the emperor and Li Ang who were teasing the crown prince, he didn't expect that his meeting with Emperor Daqin would be in such a situation. "Father, why is his hair blonde?" Seeing An Changsheng coming in, the prince shouted, he had never seen a foreigner, "Is he a monster?" ”

"Don't be rude, this is a guest from Rome." Hearing the prince's last words, Cao Anmin shook his head, and then said to An Changsheng, "Don't be surprised by the prince. Saying that, the prince gave An Changsheng a salute.

"There is no taboo in children's words. The prince is very cute! After An Changsheng performed Roman etiquette, he squatted down and took out a red envelope from his bosom and gave it to the prince.

Looking at An Changsheng who took out the red envelope, Li Ang couldn't help but be stunned, he actually forgot about it, and at this time, after the prince received the red envelope, a pair of white little hands stretched out to him, "Master, red envelope!" Looking at the crown prince, Leon reached into his arms. directly took a dragon ticket, and immediately found a red paper from the study and wrapped it.

"Go outside and ask those uncles and uncles for red envelopes." Seeing that his son took Li Angdi's red envelope, Cao Anmin's eyes rolled and he tried to trick his son into going to the hall. After his son left, Cao Anmin looked at An Changsheng, who had been quiet, to be honest, he didn't expect this Roman prince to be such a quiet scholar, if it weren't for his blonde hair. It was difficult for him to think of him as a foreigner.

"If the prince can become the emperor of Rome, I can save a lot of heart, and I don't have to use swords in the future." Cao Anmin said suddenly, in his heart, it is not that Great Qin and Rome cannot coexist, but Rome has reorganized its armaments and expanded its military strength over the years, and in the face of such a provocation, if Great Qin does nothing, he does not have to be the emperor.

Listen to the emperor's words that seem to be pointed. An Changsheng smiled quietly, "Your Majesty's wishes, Changsheng knows that Changsheng will do his best to prevent the war between the two countries." An Changsheng already made a decision in his heart. Rome and Great Qin were both his favorite lands, and he did not want to see the two countries at war, and he felt that the fusion of cultures could eliminate the shadow of war between the two countries.

Looking at An Changsheng with a faint firm smile on his face, Li Ang shook his head silently, this young man is still too idealistic, for a country, its own culture is only a weapon of aggression, in other words, cultural invasion is also to prepare for future aggression, the strong cannot coexist, unless it is like another world. Under the premise of ultimate destruction, the powerful countries can play under the established rules, and at that time. Culture is the sharpest weapon, and now, culture is far less sharp than the sword, how many times did the Han people fall under the barbaric butcher's knife, the reason why they did not perish, is not that culture saved the Han people, but that the Han people themselves saved themselves, five nonsense, if there is no Ran Min, the Han people have long been dead, and how to come to cultural inheritance, so talent is the foundation, the blood of the nation is the fundamental, there is no nation, how can there be any culture, but unfortunately Confucianism does not understand this truth, otherwise, they will not be deposed by Emperor Taizu.

For An Changsheng's wishes, Cao Anmin just smiled, he liked this simple prince a little, he didn't see any dark side in him, this is a young man as refreshing as sunshine, it's a pity.

"Your Majesty, it's time for us to go to the feast." Li Ang, who had been silent, suddenly said on the side, breaking the atmosphere between Cao Anmin and An Changsheng.

"Is the time almost there?" Cao Anmin was a little surprised, he couldn't imagine that time would pass like this

Soon he came back to his senses, nodded and took An Changshengfang with Li Ang.

In the martial arts arena that was temporarily used as the main hall, the heads of the major families looked at the sweet-mouthed prince, and they all took out the red envelopes that had been prepared a long time ago, and they were all bold and generous, and none of the red envelopes were less than 100,000 gold baht, for them, it was not good to get closer to the royal family with such a good opportunity, and I was really sorry for the invitation bought by 100,000 gold baht this time.

Soon Li Cunxiao's arms around the prince were stuffed with red envelopes, and the number of red envelopes was still soaring.

The dinner finally arrived, and although the families complained about the round tables one by one, they knew that this was probably the only way to make all the families squeeze into this hall, and there was no need to count on the singing and dancing to help the fun.

When Cao Anmin walked out, the voice of 'Great Qin Wuwei' sounded again in the hall, Cao Anmin did not have the habit of talking nonsense, but after casually saying a few words, he let everyone sit down, fortunately, Daqin is not more than the old Han, not very particular about false etiquette, otherwise, the emperor and courtiers around the round table to spend Chinese New Year's Eve together, rarely to be killed by the courtiers, and Li Ang will also be buttoned up with a big rebellious hat.

Li Ang asked Cui Hao to buy a flowing water banquet, and the dishes were served quickly, although the utensils like edible ones were not very satisfying to those picky families, but the celebrity chefs who were tied back by Tianzhiju and Li Cunzhi made them feel that the dishes were not bad, of course, the most satisfying thing for them in the audience was that Feng Siniang brewed the world's best wine Chang'an Drunk, which was sold for a sky-high price of 1,000 gold baht. In addition to those high-ranking families with strong backgrounds, ordinary families are reluctant to buy easily.

"Sure enough, it's good wine!" Cao Anmin is not a person who likes to drink, but this does not prevent him from becoming a master wine taster. In addition to Li Ang's family, who sat with Cao Anmin, they were important ministers like Da Sima and the chief executive, of course, it was not easy for the family to sit next to them, but they looked at the eyes of the people who commanded the people to serve the food, Cui Hao didn't care what kind of high or low door you have, how long and noble your family background is, I want to sit next to Your Majesty's chairman, I'm sorry. Please take the money out, how much? Naturally, the one with the highest price got it, and if he wanted to sell the account, there was no door.

So these families poured Chang'an drunk into death, no matter how they said it, it was also a thousand gold baht and a jar of wine, and they drank enough first. And during those few banquets, the one who drank the most fiercely belonged to Miss Zhuge . She originally wanted to follow Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang to get in, but she didn't know that she was squeezed out by Cui Hao, thinking of the face that laughed like a fox, Miss Zhuge gritted her silver teeth fiercely.

Looking at Miss Zhuge who was drinking fiercely there, Lin Fengshuang and Feng Siniang, who were sitting with the queen on the chairman, were snickering, to be honest, seeing Miss Zhuge eating in front of Cui Hao really surprised them. "Niangniang, you said that Miss Zhuge and my housekeeper are not compatible?" Feng Siniang saw that Miss Zhuge stared at Cui Hao fiercely from time to time with a pair of phoenix eyes, and couldn't help but ask the queen on the side.

"A match is a match." thought of Miss Zhuge and the housekeeper named Cui Haodi. The queen thought for a while before replying, to be honest, this Miss Zhuge and Cui Hao are really a bit husband and wife standing together. In addition, both of them are temperaments that would rather die than suffer, which can be regarded as a compliment.

"Sister, what are you?" Lin Fengshuang came to Feng Siniang's side, she didn't quite understand what Feng Siniang wanted to do.

"Find a female fox for our black fox to be a mother-in-law, and if you want to say that Miss Zhuge will not disgrace the black fox." Feng Siniang looked at Cui Hao, who was smiling brightly in the distance, and whispered in Lin Fengshuang's ear, the two of them also knew about Cui Hao's past, after all, Li Ang would never hide anything from them, and the two of them were not ordinary women, and they had no prejudices about this housekeeper who was born as a lone thief.

"My sister has some truth in what she said. This Miss Zhuge and our black fox are really a pair made in heaven to do that intelligence. I will definitely be able to help my husband a lot in the future. Lin Fengshuang nodded, then looked at Miss Zhuge who was drinking and said, "But sister, I think this Miss Zhuge hates our black fox so much, can this thing be done?" ”

"Why can't it be, I think Miss Zhuge is quite interested in our fox like this, and you don't want to think about it, have you ever heard of Miss Zhuge before if there is a man she hates." Feng Siniang smiled, but that smile made Lin Fengshuang feel cold, in her opinion, her sister Feng simply wanted to entertain Miss Zhuge at all, but then again, it would be good if this marriage could be matched.

"The most troublesome thing is Miss Zhuge 's mother's family, but if our black fox can get Miss Zhuge in his hands, with Miss Zhuge 's temper, even if the family obstructs it, I'm afraid it will be the master who dares to elope if he pats his butt." Feng Siniang was thinking about it, and she already had an idea in her heart.

Looking at Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang, who had been whispering there, Li Ang frowned, of course he knew that the narrow smile on their faces definitely meant that they were calculating someone, and it seemed that someone was going to be unlucky, thinking of this, he couldn't help but be a little curious.

Although it is a banquet form like an ordinary family, but when everyone drinks high, there is no more attention to it, and the banquet gradually becomes noisy, looking at those lively tables, the heads of the family are feasting loudly, a smile flashed in the eyes of the chief, he seems to have not seen the family like this for a long time, I really miss the past!

The last night of Qin Calendar 3 ended in such a jubilant atmosphere, and everyone ushered in Qin Calendar 4, a year of roaring legions, in an all-night drinking feast
